I believe most of Star Trek
If anything, it seems like Warp Speed regressed in the 24th Century.
Even without prequels or reboots.
Unforgivable Trek errors by writers..
- Thread starter ED-209
- Start date

Yep. Our friend @blssdwlf, put out his warp speed chart which showed that the TOS Enterprise hit ~500,000 c speeds a couple of times. Whoopee.
Yeah, but Cochrane building a warp-drive spaceship in post-apocalyptic rural Montana would be like someone building the first iPad in Somalia in 2002. There were no facilities, and no transport system to get the components from existing facilities to the launch site.
Lily did mention the difficulties she encountered in obtaining a sufficient amount of titanium for the Phoenix.
I suppose having an intact Titan booster in its silo made things a little easier.
But you are correct, development projects for complex things require easy and reliable access to equipment and supplies of all types.

We know next to nothing about "ww3," and in the Star Trek universe, space travel is much further along in the 20th/21st century than the real world. We can imagine the war involved space, orbital weapons, ICBMs, et al, and perhaps this place in Montana was a major launching site. Perhaps Cochrane was one of the scientists that worked there during the war, and afterwards just continued to pursue in theories.
They didn't just build it all from scratch.
Also, they would have needed did crystals, right?

At the time Voyager disappeared, the Dominion hadn't been discovered yet. And the wormhole's location in the Gamma quadrant had been charted. Could have worked.
Actually, the Dominion was known by the time Voyager was lost. She disappeared the same year Sisko went to find the Founders. While it may not have been widespread at the time, I'm sure all captains were briefed on them, particularly Janeway since her initial mission was to the Badlands, which is not far from DS9.
Everyone knows that a wormhole can always be destabilized or blocked for plot reasons, so why gamble on that never happening, especially if you don’t truly expect the journey to take 75 years?

And indeed, a holodeck program Tom Paris used to teach shuttle piloting lessons to Kes does feature Jem'Hadar warships. Then in the fourth season, the characters never heard of the Dominion. In then in the seventh season, Jem'Hadar were included among the various races the Hirogen had holograms of, based on information they obtained from Voyager in the fourth season.
To be fair, the Doctor was the one who never heard of the Dominion. Him not knowing is understandable.
Well, Jesus killed a helpless tree that was offending him for some reason... So killing a tree could show the creature that it's dealing with godlike people...
That or he stubbed his toe on it... There are only so many things that a tree can "do".
The EMH didn't know about the dominion
Message in a bottle said:
Neither did Chakotay

Well, at least they are consistent.
Voyager left a few weeks? after the events of "Jem Hadar" and "The Search," so it's likely Voyager has info on the Dominion in their computer, but weren't around long enough to get any formal briefing on them.
To Voyager, they might just be another Gamma quadrant species. Also, Chakotay wasn't part of Starfleet then, and neither was B'elanna, so his wording is probably appropriate.
I'm sure when writing that episode, the writers had to ask themselves "What would Chakotay and B'elanna know about the Dominion?"

More like several months. Stardate 48315, if memory serves me, was when it was pulled into the Delta Quadrant. Stardate 48212 is when Sisko went on the mission to search for the Founders.
